So, my dream last night.
A romantic comedy starring John Travolta and Drew Barrymore as two single adult nerds with high functioning Down's Syndrome.
Drew is the 'cool kid' at their school, and John is kind of the misfit/Rudolph character.
So to impress Drew, he shows her his collectible Voltron ring from the 80's that for some reason was made with five actual gems. (They just don't make em like the old days huh?) Drew thinks he's giving it to her and gets really excited. John, not wanting to lose the ring, but still have her think he's cool, in a moment of panic proposes to her.
The rest of the movie is about them planning the most adorable nerd wedding for middle aged people while Robin Williams plays Drew's scheming father that's just trying to get the ring from poor John.
This. This is the places my subconscious apparently wanders off to.

Friends to enemies, enemies to friends
Was watching Dragon Ball Super and looked over the cast of characters filled with enemies from the past that became friends.
I thought about what a wonderful reflection on the main characters that was, that they were able to heal from the wounds with these enemies and form lasting bonds.
Forgiveness. Atonement. Mending.
It is a beautiful thought.
Then I reflected on how little that seems to happen in real life.
Strangers become friends. But friends, once enemies, never seem to come back around.
Those we meet as enemies stay as enemies forever.
I'm sure there are exceptions to this, and I would love to hear your tales to the contrary.
Simply lamenting that we can't find more ways to lay our differences aside and forge friendships where enmity once persisted.
